The girl has got the touch
Whoo-wh-wh-whoo, whoa
What she got is a little something, oh yeah
That kind of girl
Maxi Priest just make them know, huh!
She's the kind of woman who lets you know
When she knows what she wants, she won't let go
Takes you to a place of your fantasy
Walks you to the door, but she holds the key
1-That girl, ooh, that kind of girl
That's the kind of lover, that girl, ooh
That kind of girl
Smooth type of girl
No matter who you are or what you do

Take you on a high, even make you fly, that girl, ooh
That kind of girl
That's the kind of lover, that girl, ooh
That kind of girl
She's outspoken, I'm heartbroken
Just the kind of girl to keep my love life rollin'
She's outspoken, I'm heartbroken
Just the kind of girl to keep me
That, that, that girl to make you
Break your silence and speak
'Cause a glimpse upon the silhouette
My knees get weak, mmm, mmm, baby, baby, so unique
A reggaematic lover, lover make her life complete
(repeat 1)
Say what? She's the kind of woman who knows the street
And even under pressure, she's smooth and sweet
No complications, just attitude
Believe in what she got, said she won't get used
(rpt 1)
Well, I'm weak to her touch, gon' rub her to her blush
Love struck that girl, I got an instant crush
You can call me a lush, infatuation or just lust
The girl possess the stuff to make the man def, ooh, ah
Holy Moses, Lord, it could have been me
Caught up in this trap and didn't wanna be
But I ain't a fool, I was one step ahead
I had to let go 'cause I was over my head
(rpt 1)
She's a cocky kind of girl, that girl, ooh
I got to let her know, that kind of girl
That's the kind of lover, that girl, ooh
I'll let her know, that kind of girl
That's the kind of girl, she's outspoken, I'm heartbroken

That girl, ooh, that kind of girl
A rude girl type of lover, that girl, ooh
Shaggy and Maxi Priest, definitely on the girl them case
(rpt 1)
Don't go, don't go
Please stay
Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you want to start something new
And it's breaking my heart you're leaving
Baby I'm grieving
But if you want to leave take good care
Hope you find a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile girl
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child girl
You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breaking my heart in two
Because I never want to see you sad girl
Don't be a bad girl
But if you want to leave take good care
Hope you find a lot of nice friends out there
Just remember there's a lot of bad air, beware
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile girl
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child girl
You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breaking my heart in two
Because I never want to see you sad girl
Don't be a bad girl
But if you want to leave take good care
Hope you find a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile girl
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child girl
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile girl
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child girl
Seems I no longer score oh baby
Is there something you should tell me
Cause I feel the tension in the air
Maybe we should talk about it
Cause this silence I can't bear
And I'm not making no excuses
There's a million reasons why
We were once so good together
Now we're living separate lifes
chorus
Cause you don't love me anymore
Don't hurt the way I do crying over you
And you don't need me anymore
Don't see the tears I cry (when I'm) crying over you
One was such a lonely number
Then I realize the score
All you can do is change it
Let me hold you just once more
Cause every picture tells your story
And tonight I feel the blues
So afraid to think about tomorrow
All the love that we once knew
repeat chorus
I'm just living on a prayer
Hope I wake up, find you there
We can turn the world around us
And make it like it's ??? day
Not just another prayer
Not just another song
When I look at the darkness all around us
I feel like I'm loosin' control
So many people who just don't know where to go
Listen to me now
Not a song goes unsung
Not a voice goes unheard
Ooh I'm hanging on your every word
chorus
Say a prayer for the world
Only love can save us now
Say a prayer for the world
Believe that it's gonna be all right somehow
Every day it's a new day
Every day we start again
Say a prayer for the world
And send all your love to all creation oh yeah
Said the world is my pillow, where I rest my weary head
I'm not afraid of dying but I'm not thinking about
leaving here oh no
And the voice says learn to sit in silence
Not a flower grows in vain
We must learn to cultivate the garden oh yeah
repeat chorus
And when the darkness rolls in
There's a light still shining yeah oh yeah
Suspended here in twilight
There's a road I'm finding yeah oh yeah
Say a prayer
repeat chorus 2x
Not just another prayer
Yeah, just making it with you, girl
Holding you tight, squeezing you right
And I won't let it slip away
When I feel the taste of your sweet embrace
I couldn't let it slip away
I don't know how I got here
But I'm in the place
And the music's rocking in my soul
No time to waste
The party is raging and I'm getting hot
And until I get to know you, girl
I'm not gonna stop
Dancing with you cheek to cheek
And I feel your heat
And the words you whisper in my ears
They sound so sweet
Holding you tight, squeezing you right
And I won't let it slip away
When I feel the taste of your sweet embrace
I couldn't let it slip away
Being here with you, girl, just takes me away
To another place, another time
Ooh, I love your way
The music is playing, we're rocking in time
And you're really getting to me, girl
You're blowing my mind
Holding you tight, squeezing you right
And I won't let it slip away
When I feel the taste of your sweet embrace
I couldn't let it slip away
Holding you tight, squeezing you right
And I won't let it slip away
When I feel the taste of your sweet embrace
I couldn't let it slip away
Holding you tight, squeezing you right
And I won't let it slip away
When I feel the taste of your sweet embrace
She loves me
And I know she wants me
She loves me
And I know she cares about me
Friends they keep on telling me
How she sits and talks about me
Folks they keep on telling me
How she always talks about me
Oh I've been such a fool
Not to realise the love we had
Gonna take this chance to prove to myself
That love is not a game
You and I should feel the same
Cos I recognise the woman in you
I recognise the woman in you
Let love free me
And break these chains that bind me
It's taken me time to see
The loving that surrounds me
I've been down on my luck before
Say oh Lord I can't take no more
Of this pain
Now I know it's gonna be alright
Cause with you I see the light
It's this way
Cos I recognise the woman in you
I recognise the woman in you
In the corners of my mind
I can hear the voice of love
It talks about you
There's a place within my heart
Leaves me longing for the night
To vibe with you
Cos I recognise the woman in you
I recognise the woman in you
I could feel the woman
The woman in you
Tell me does he ever stroke your body gently
Does he talk to you the way that I do
Does he look into your eyes and see his future
I know that I do when I'm loving you
He's been treating you like love is out of season
Girl there ain't no reason
You can have it all
What a woman needs
chorus
This is how my heart beats
When I am making love to you
Listen to the sounds of how much I want you
Let your body feel my groove
I wanna get deep in you
This is what a woman needs day and night
What a woman needs
You need understanding love and devotion
So let me put it into motion
This is what I'll do for you
I'll break you off the way that you like
I'll be the priest you call in the night
I'll keep it real
So baby what's the deal
He's been treating you like love is out of season
Girl there ain't no reason
You can have it all
What a woman needs
repeat chorus
Everyday will be sunshine
Cause what a woman needs
I'll give to you
Making love in the moonlight
There's so much injustice here
I see it every day
Time and time we'll try to change
And never find a way
We'll climb the mountains far and wide
To find the truth behind the lies
Here I am just searching for some peace
Just watching the world go by
Counting the clouds up in the sky
I'm hoping for a new tomorrow
Without sadness and sorrows in my life
There is so much hate around
We need to find some love
So much disillusion
I just got to rise above
There is so much going down
To keep my feet on solid ground
Got to find an answer to my prayers
Just watching the world go by
Counting the clouds up in the sky
Getting all those complications
And those mad situations out of my life
Just watching the world go by
Seeing all the lonely people pass me by
I'm hoping for a new tomorrow
Without sadness and sorrows in my life
My life, in my life, in my life, ooh yeah
In my life, oh yeah
Come along now, now, now, now
Come along now, now, now, now
You need to spend some time to look into yourself
And watch the river flow into the sea
You travel down a highway, not knowing where it goes
And listening to the music as it flows
Just watching the world go by
Counting the clouds up in the sky
Getting all those complications
And those mad situations out of my life
Just watching the world go by
Seeing all the lonely people pass me by
I'm hoping for a new tomorrow
Without sadness and sorrows in my life
Just watching the world go by
Counting the clouds up in the sky
Getting all those complications
And those mad situations out of my life
Watching the world go by
Seeing all the lonely people pass me by
I'm hoping for a new tomorrow
Without sadness and sorrows in my life
Walk away, just walk away
Eight o'clock, the purple clouds
I look outside my heart is heavy with regret
I never thought I could be standing so empty
And now your face I know I never will forget
They say this is love
And you go through things like this sometimes
Try and not to show, oh no
You know I know that it's over but I just can't let it go
And now that I know
It wasn't meant to be between you and me
Now I know it wasn't meant to be
I've seen now the road I've been going down
Wasn't meant to be, no, no
Twilight, sun going down
The atmosphere is of romance is in the air
Reaching out for a piece of a memory
Final moments of our love we could share
But too many things undecided in between us
A life time and a day, oh yeah
Ooh, don't break the silence that surrounds us
'Cause there's nothing more to say and we'll have to pay
It wasn't meant to be between you and me
Now I know it wasn't meant to be
I've seen now the road I've been going down
Wasn't meant to be, no, no
It wasn't meant to be between you and me
Now I know it wasn't meant to be
I've seen now the road I've been going down
Wasn't meant to be, no, no
They say this is love
And you go through things like this sometimes
That's the way it goes oh no
I got so much emotion but I just can't let it go
No, no, no
It wasn't meant to be between you and me
Now I know it wasn't meant to be
I've seen now the road I've been going down
Wasn't meant to be, no, no
It wasn't meant to be between you and me
Now I know it wasn't meant to be
I've seen now the road I've been going down
How many times you gonna do
what you do to me
Still I turn around and take it like that
Just for the love and all the joys that you make me
feel
So I really couldn't turn my back
Lady forever, ahhh
I'm the one who's gonna be by your side
Here and for always
Ooh, always and forever
Every minute, every second, take your time, no need to

Every minute, every second, take your time, no need to

Strollin' on

Strollin' along with my girl
Holding her by her waist
See it's a feelin'
But you've got to experience for yourself
Lord it's a feelin' you have
When you're strollin' along with your girl
Thinking of things
Of things gone long by
All the times we spend

So when I kissed her lips
So soft, so sweet as honey
Strollin' along
With a beautiful girl like her
Strollin' on
Stroll1n' on
Strollin' with my girl
Woo-oh.. yeah!
All I really wanna do is get you babe,
And hold you tight never let you go.
I promise you, to close my eyes and wait a while,
And still find you there.
Caring about me, instead of just wasting my time,
I gave you my heart, oh baby, was that not enough?
There's a space in this heart, babe,
Waiting for you.
When you find where you're going,
I'll be there too. Yes I will baby.
I guess I never told you that I loved you babe,
But each moment, was wrong.
And I would die.. if I never get the chance to show you
how strong.
I gave you my heart, yes I did babe, was that not
enough for you baby?
There's a space in this heart, babe,
Waiting for you.
When you find where you're going,
I'll be there too.
Oh I will, yes I will baby.

I'm gonna find a way, I love you babe, I love you babe
To make you mine
There's a space in this heart, babe,
Waiting for you.
When you find where you're going,
I'll be there too. Yes I will baby.
There's a space in this heart, babe,
Waiting for you. Yes there is baby.
Lonely, so lonely in your love
Oh so lonely, I'm saying
Alone in the crowd
on a bus after work
I'm day dreaming
The guy next to me
Has his woman on his arms
my arms are empty
How does it feel
when the woman that you love
says yes, she loves you
It seems unfair
when there's love everywhere
and yet there's none for you
(chorus)
Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys have a little sunshine in their lives
My life is always filled with rain
Someone to take on a walk down by the lake
Dear Lord, let her be
Someone who shouts
Someone who's liable to cry
at sad movies
I do believe i will die
just to look in your eyes
and find them filled with me
But you're just a dream
andt the real is as it seems
I'm not that lucky
(Chorus)
It's just a loosing game
Things have got to change
Some girl will give my love a try
And with my love there will always be arms open wide.
Should I put my trust in you
Should I put my faith in you
Should I let you stick around
Should I let you float around
My desire was for us
To live clean and strong
Then we could go on in life
To live and grow
But woman you went away
Left me here to stay
Now you're coming back to me
On your bended knees
Should I put my trust in you
Should I put my faith in you
Should I let you stick around
Should I let you float around
Should I, should I, should I, should I,
Let you float around, stick around, stay around, oh
yeah
It's not so long ago
That we were together
Sharing and caring
For each other
The people used to say
Our love would never fade
Now will I be the fool
To let you stay here again
Should I let you stick around
Should I let you float around, oh yeah
Should I, should I, should I, should I
Let you float around, stick around, stay around, oh
yeah
Should I, should I, should I, should I
Let you float around, stick around, stay around, oh
yeah
You wrote me a letter
You found someone better
You say you can't face me
And you're sorry you hurt me
My heart was torn in two
I didn't know what I should do
Should I let you stick around
Should I let you float around, oh yeah
Should I, should I, should I, should I,
Let you float around, stick around, stay around, oh
yeah
It's not so long ago
That we were together
Sharing and caring
For each other
The people used to say
Our love would never ever fade
Should I let you stick around
In the springtime
You can see nature full and free
High up in the trees
You can hear the birds them singing songs of freedom
Out in the open
Everything there is fresh and clean
Unlike the life I'm here living
All creatures great and small
Living together one and all
I wanna be
The way I wanna be
That is the way I wanna be
Like the birds in the tree yeh
They're going tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet etc.
Singing songs of freedom
Singing songs of freedom
Living in the city
No chains around my feet
But still I am not free
No handcuffs on my hand
But I've got my dignity
I wanna be
The way I wanna be
That is the way I wanna be
Like the birds in the tree yeh
They're going tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet etc.
Singing songs of freedom
Singing songs of freedom
See as a youth living in the city
Can't get no work
Can't get no job
Can't get no money to put in my pocket
I can't get a thing to have of my own
That's why I wanna be free
That's why I wanna be free
Like the bird in the tree
Like the bird in the tree
They're going tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet etc.
Singing songs of freedom
Singing songs of freedom
Yes in the springtime
You can feel nature full and free
High up in the trees
You can hear the birds them singing songs of freedom
Out in the open
Everything there is fresh and clean
Unlike the life I'm here living
All creatures great and small
Living together one and all
I wanna be
The way I wanna be
Just like the birds in the trees
I say a little prayer
Hoping I'll be heard
Lord help the children to find peace in their time
I look around me, it all seems so wrong
Got to find a way to make it all right
chorus
Oh oh peace peace throughout the world
Just a little peace just a little peace
Peace throughout the world
War for money war for land
Tell me how long it's going to be before we understand
People of the world
It's time we get things straight
Cause if we don't get it together
It's gonna be too late
repeat chorus
In a world where peoples' feelings don't matter
In a world where people just don't care
I search the high and low to find myself an answer
Nothing seems to matter, no one seems to care
Take a look to the future
What do you see
Twentieth century going down on it's knees
If we ever get there what would we do
Cause there won't be nothing there for me and you
Let now be the time
Let peace be the vibe
Let's join together
And we'll strive to find a new way
To see it clear where you new existence
In which we can expect
Individually achievements peace of mind
Poverty ? all men kind
Make this world a better place
To be sure ??? the human race
Peace throughout the world ooh
Oh peace mmm
In a world where peoples' feelings don't matter
In a world where people just don't care
I search the high and low to find myself an answer
Nothing seems to matter, no one seems to care
Take a look to the future
What do you see
Twentieth century going down on it's knees
If we ever get there what would we do
Cause there won't be nothing there for me and you
Uh oh yeah
There's no reason for hurting baby
You know I'm on your side
Cause I've been sitting here thinking about us baby
And I wanna make it right oh yeah
Though I know I really stepped out a line before
Time after time
And you just got to believe in my promises baby
Even though that's the last thing on your mind oh yeah
I know I realize all the things I've done wrong
We must find a way to make our love grow strong

Baby won't you give me just your name and your number?
Or is there someone else? I don't see no ring
And if you say no we can do our thing

Your friends say I'm no good for you
But in my heart I'm so true
A partner for life we can be sure
You've asked me for some time to clear you mind
I stayed away it hurt so much
Without your touch
Now I'm back and you say
Just a little bit longer baby
'Cause my love keeps growing stronger
A little more time to say but in my head a love song plays
For you and me
We played in the rain together
That feeling lives on forever
Memories that bring tears of joy
We've had our share of bad times too
Hurting each other me and you
Brought us much closer in the end
Just too much we've both fought for
To put it all down the drain
I've stayed away just for a while
But now you're driving me insane
Just a little bit longer baby
'Cause my love keeps growing stronger
A little more time to say but in my head a love song plays
For you and me
Just a little bit longer baby
'Cause my love keeps growing stronger
A little more time to say but in my head a love song plays
For you and me
I said, all there is to say now
Hoping that you'll make me stay
Believe me I'm yearning for you girl
Hope there's a place in your heart
That remembers the good from the start
Just put me back where I belong
You asked me for some time to clear your mind
I stayed away it hurt so much
Without your touch now I'm back and you say
Just a little bit longer baby
'Cause my love keeps growing stronger
A little more time to say but in my head a love song plays

Chorus:
Whatever my eyes can see my heart can feel thats why i
believe in love. Knowing my eyes can see sure as the deep
blue sea, that's I believe in love.
You bless me with an everlasting smile gotta give thanks
for the way you touch my life with your love. When right
seems wrong and wrong seems right
I'll be careful, I'll be strong.
*(CHORUS)*
In the moments when I'm alone, in the times when I'm not
sure I can always call on you.
In the moments when I'm in fear, when it seems like no
one's there. There's one thing I know its true I can
always call on you.
*(CHORUS)*
No one on earth means more to me
And you're a painted picture
Of the way that the world should be
Don't ever change it
I don't wanna live in this world without you, oh no
And I can't explain, I can't define
What you do to me
My senses are so alive
You tell the story
And it's all that I ever believe, oh yeah
Portraits and poetry
Are frozen forms of perfection
But they don't live and breathe
And when my heart's in need
They don't answer me
chorus
You, you are you're a human work of art
You, you are you're a human work of art
You make me love, you make me care
You give me freedom I don't need
When I know you're there
My search is over
I've got all of the riches that money don't buy, oh
yeah
Your words are poetry
Your face is more than perfection
That when I watch you move
It only goes to prove
That everything you do
repeat chorus
You're my mission
You're my girl
Ooh you liberate my soul
There's no illusion
That your touch is gold
Portraits and poetry
Are frozen forms of perfection
But they don't live and breathe
And when my heart's in need
They don't answer me
repeat chorus
Walking talking inspiration
You you're a human work of art
Walking talking inspiration
Waking up to a dry land
With empty glasses in their hands
To the bone I see their call
A fate for one and all
Watch relief fall from the sky
Still resources running dry
Tell me, how can we ease the pain
That the people going under
Tell me, how can we ease the pain
Tell me, who's gonna take the blame
How can we ease the pain
That the people going under
Tell me, how can we ease the pain
Tell me, who's gonna take the blame
I watched the children cry
No tears within their eyes
Then I ask the reason why
Life seems to be on the slide
Electing one with no feelings
Who's gonna pay for their tomorrow
Tell me, how can we ease the pain
That the people going under
Tell me, how can we ease the pain
Tell me, who's gonna take the blame
How can we ease the pain
That the people going under
Tell me, how can we ease the pain
Tell me, who's gonna take the blame
That's what I'd like to know
Cos it's been so long
And it seems to me to be so wrong
Life it's like a ball against the wall
A ball against the wall
If you throw love against the wall
It comes back to you
And if you throw hate against the wall
It's gonna follow you
So what we gonna do to ease the pain
(ease the pain)
(ease the pain)
How can we ease the pain
That the people going under
Tell me, how can we ease the pain
Tell me, who's gonna take the blame
How can we ease the pain
That the people going under

You just don't understand
I was home just the other day
When someone told me
That you're still with the man
That you left long time ago
Oh, I'm not tryin' to play in your love affair
But you mean so much to me
When I see those teardrops in your eyes
It all comes back to me
Oh, my little sister
I can be your shoulder to cry on
But you're a big girl now
And you can't waste your life away, ooh
Golden teardrops, chasing rainbows
Will help you to ease your mind
But you've got to let go sometime
Golden teardrops, chasing rainbows
Will help you to ease your mind
But you've got to let go sometime
Oh, my little sister
I'm not tryin' to tell you what to do
But the wounds that I thought
Would have healed by now
Are still tearing you apart
I can dry your eyes
But I won't tell you lies
But you got to be strong
Need to take control of your life
Golden teardrops, chasing rainbows
Will help you to ease your mind
But you've got to let go sometime
Golden teardrops, chasing rainbows
Will help you to ease your mind
But you've got to let go sometime
Sometime, sometime, ooh yeah
Chasing rainbows, chasing rainbows
Oh, my little sister
I can dry your eyes
But I won't tell you lies
But you got to be strong
Need to take control of your life
Golden teardrops, chasing rainbows

Looking in your eyes
Kind of heaven eyes
Closing both my eyes
Waiting for surprise
To see the heaven in your eyes is not so far
And I'm not afraid to try and go it
To know the love and the beauty never known before
I'll leave it up to you to show it
chorus
And golden lady, golden lady
I'd like to go there
And golden lady, golden lady
I'd like to go there
Take me right away
Looking at your hands
Hands can understand
Waiting for the chance ooh
Oh just to hold your hand
A touch of rain and sunshine made the flowers grow
oh into a lovely smile that's bloomin'
And it's so clear to me that you're a dream come true
And there's no way that I'll be losing you oh
repeat chorus
Oh baby baby baby

There's no way that I'll be losing you oh
repeat chorus
Oh take me right away
Take me right away
Just take me right away
Oh I wanna go there
Sometimes you feel like you're all alone
Sometimes it's hard just to find a home
Seems like you're searching in the dark
Trying to find just touch of heart
Sometimes you feel like you wanna cry
Breakdown and crawl like you wanna die
And just when you think that all is lost
You find the strength just to get across
'Cause when you reach out for a deeper love
You find a way to rise above
And now I know, I know, I know
(chorus)
God watches over us
Whenever we may go
I put my heart and trust
And I just won't let it go
Cause I know, I know I know
God watches over us
I've had my times for the might have beens
I've played those games that I couldn't win
I had a hand had to turn it in
Cause I was scared just to loose a friend
Sometimes you stop and you close the door
You reach inside when you needed more
Can't help but kneel and shout a prayer
Somehow you know that there is someone there
Cause when you reach out for a deeper love
You find a way to rise above
And now I know, I know, Iknow
(chorus)
Life may have it's ups and downs
I cry, I cry, listen me keenly
I cry, ah bad boy and wicked man
I cry for my people
I'm talking to my people, watch this
Tell me who are your enemy?
Just type of frienenemy
Tell me who are your enemy?
Just that type of frienenemy
I wanna know just why
A man thinks it's funny dising his idrin
Saying everything leads to money
Where do you go from here?
Won't you make a decision?
'Cause only your friend knows your secret
Only he can reveal them
Tell me who are your enemy?
Just type of frienenemy
Tell me who are your enemy?
Just that type of frienenemy
Slow down a minute let me
Talk to you neatly
'Cause I got something here to say
Won't you listen me keenly?
Why does a smiling face
Never show no traces?
And fool you with their plastic smiles
And their smooth conversations
Tell me who are your enemy?
Just type of frienenemy
Tell me who are your enemy?
Just that type of frienenemy
I wanna know now, yes I do
I wanna know now
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Lord
Dash shi way nah take it back
There with a watchful eye trying to
Trick and deceive you
Despite of all the good you do
They'll be there to deny you
Tell me who are your enemy?
Just type of frienenemy
Tell me who are your enemy?
Just that type of frienenemy
Slow down a minute l
Let me talk to you neatly
'Cause I got something here to say
Won't you listen me keenly?
There with a watchful eye trying to
Trick and deceive you
Despite of all the good you do
They'll be there to deny you
Tell me who are your enemy?
Just type of frienenemy
Tell me who are your enemy?
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
amoung the fields of the island
You'll can tell the sun in his jealous sky
when we walked in the fields of gold
So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
amoung the fields of the island
In his arms she fell as her fear came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of the islands
You'll can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walk in the fields of gold
When we walk in the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there's been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in the fields of gold
We'll walk in the fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of the islands
See the children run as the sun goes down
As we walk in the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of the islands
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
amoung the fields of the island
You'll can tell the sun in his jealous sky
when we walked in the fields of gold
So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
amoung the fields of the island
In his arms she fell as her fear came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of the islands
You'll can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walk in the fields of gold
When we walk in the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there's been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in the fields of gold
We'll walk in the fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of the islands
See the children run as the sun goes down
As we walk in the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of the islands
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold

Yet I'm running to her like a river's song
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She's got a fine sense of humour when I'm feeling low
down
And when I come to her when the sun goes down
She takes away my troubles, takes away my grief
Takes away my heartache, I go right to sleep
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
Yes I need her in the daytime
And I need her in the night
And I wanna hold my arms around her
Kiss her, hug her, kiss her, hug her tight
And when I'm returning from so far away
She gives me some sweet lovin', brightens up my day
Yet it makes me righteous, yes it makes me whole
Yet it makes me mellow down to my soul
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love

Like a boomerang
If you wanna leave, then you're free to go
But you say goodbye to all the things you know
Fly away fly away into the night
If it feels so good, then it must be right
Sometimes you take your chances
You never know what might come your way
The funny thing about romances
Gotta know how to play
chorus
Like a boomerang rang rang
Set yourself free
Like a boomerang rang rang
You'd be coming back, coming back to me
Like a boomerang rang rang, like a boomerang rang rang
You'd be coming back, coming back to me
Like a boomerang rang rang, like a boomerang rang rang
You're much to good for me to let go
Baby I'm too good for you to say no
We can talk about it, talk about it all night long
Cause if it feels good, you know it can't be wrong
What gets into your system
You can't get away
There's no pulling up resistance
She's always coming back to stay
repeat chorus
Hot like a fire and cold like ice, she's nice
Nicer then mi yaki and mi sour fish and rice
Something so good, you can never let go
When I turn out the light, I could never say no no no
Like a boomerang rang rang
repeat chorus
You've got the best of me
More than I can give
In every part of me
Just for you I live
We shared our lives together
For so many years
Been through stormy weather
Shared our joys and tears
But oh this change of feeling
Has got me so confused
Feeling so rejected
Feeling like I'm used
What more can I say
What more can I do
Seems I'm wasting my time
Trying to show you
You've got the best of me
More than I can give
In every part of me
Just for you I live
You've got the best of me
More than I can give
In every part of me
Just for you I live
Seems I've been to hell and back
Only just to please you
And you're still believing
That I don't give a damn
Yes I've made my mistakes
With no intent to hurt you
Tried so very hard
Just to make you understand
What more can I say
What more can I do
Seems I'm wasting my time
Trying to show you
You've got the best of me
More than I can give
In every part of me
Just for you I live
You've got the best of me
More than I can give
In every part of me
Just for you I live
Whoa oh hey
Oh yeah
Very best of me baby, ooh
Can't you see, yeah
What more can I do
What more can I say
Seems I'm wasting my time
Trying to show you
You've got the best of me
More than I can give
In every part of me
Just for you I live
You've got the best of me
More than I can give
In every part of me
Just for you I live
You've got the best of me
More than I can give
In every part of me
Just for you I live
I've seen so many things throughout my life,
the only thing I've ever seen survive the test of time;
is the strength of your lovee...
and then the right seems wrong,
and the wrong seems right,
just be careful..be strongg
Chorus:
Whatever my eyes can see,
my heart can feel,
that's why I believe in love,
knowing my eyes can see,
as sure as the deep blue see,
that's why I believe in love
You best that ever lasting smile
gotta give thanks for the way you've touched my life..
with your lovee...
and when the right seems wrong,
and the wrong seems right,
I'll be careful, I'll be strongg
whatever my eyes can see,
my heart can feel,
that's why I believe in love,
knowing my eyes can see,
as sure as the deep blue see,
that's why I believe in love
In the moments when I'm alone,
in the times when I'm not sure,
I can always call on youu..
In the moments when I'm in ?
When it seems like no ones there
There's one thing I know is true
I can always count on you..?
So hard to hear the smallest voice
That's fighting to be heard above the noise of days
Hard to believe and trusting star
That's shining on us from so far, so far away
And then you take my heart
And I surrender to your sweet care
To love with pride inside
Gives us this sweetness we're sharing
Amazed are we who see, oh, yeah
This love is deeper than the ocean
And who could know, we'd grow
Shining and stronger with devotion
With everyday that's passing we can
Feel and believe we're asking
For dreams we can touch, oh, yeah
And every time I look at you
I start to believe that dreams come true
We've learned so much
And as you take my heart
And I surrender to your sweet care
To love with pride inside
Gives us this sweetness
We're sharing, oh, yeah
Amazed are we who see, oh, yeah
This love is deeper than the ocean
And who could know, we'd grow
Shining and stronger with devotion
With everyday I feel the magic's growing
Our love is like a river warm and flowing
And every morning when I wake beside you
I do believe in love so trusting and so true, Oh, yeah
To love with pride inside
Give us this sweetness we're sharing
Amazed are we who see, oh, yeah
This love is deeper than the ocean
And who could know, we'd grow
Shining and stronger with devotion
Amazed are we, amazed are we
This love is deeper than the ocean
And who could know, we'd grow, oh, yeah
Jah Rastafari
One man's feed is another man's poison
One man's joy is another man's pain
One man's strength is another man's weakness
And it takes all kinds of people
All kinds of people in this world
To make this world turn around
Make this world a better place
Make this world turn around
One man's chains is another man's freedom
One man's curse is another man's prayer
One man's dream is another man's nightmare
And it takes all kinds of people
All kinds of people in this world
To make this world turn around
Make this world a better place
Make this world turn around
Make this world a better place
So many questions waiting for the answer
So many people waiting for their ship to come in
And salvation to begin, hey, hey, hey
One man's hell is another man's heaven
One man's enemy is another man's friend
One man's woman is another man's lover
And it takes all kinds of people
All kinds of people in this world
To make this world turn around
Make this world a better place
Make this world turn around
Make this world a better place
So many questions waiting for the answer
So many people waiting for their ship to come in
And salvation to begin, hey, hey, hey
One man's hell is another man's heaven

Make this world a better place
This one's for you, baby
This time I'll make things right
Listen
Lately I've been thinking
That we need some time together
Nothing ever seems to go
The way we planned
I used to think that nothing
Would ever come between us
And what we have is slipping
Right through our hands
Ain't it enough to say I love you?
Ain't it enough to know I care?
What would it take to prove that I need you?
I'll do anything, I swear
You're always trying to tell me
That I never understand you
The trouble is you never get what I say
You never listen to my side of the story
So tell me, do I really have to beg you to stay?
Tell me, tell me, tell me baby
Ain't it enough to say I love you?
Ain't it enough to know I care?
What would it take to prove that I need you?
I'll do anything, I swear
Much too far from being over
Much too close to let it go
It's our time to get it back together
'Cause I can't stand to lose you right now
Ain't it enough to say I love you?
Ain't it enough to know I care?
What would it take to prove that I need you?
I'll do anything, I swear
Ain't it enough to say I love you?
Ain't it enough to know I care?
What would it take to prove that I need you?
I'll do anything, I swear
Ain't it enough to say I love you?
Ain't it enough to know I care?
What would it take to prove that I need you?
She was A Jezebel, this Brixton queen
Livin' the life like a back street dream
Tellin' mi lies when the truth was clear
I think she knew what I wanted to hear
Spinnin' mi 'round like a wheel on fire
Walkin' on tightrope, my love's high wire
Fatal attraction is where I'm at
There's no escapin' me
I just wanna be close to you
And do all the things you want me to
I just wanna be close to you
And show you the way I feel
I feel love
When I'm lying in the midnight hour
Holding you just like a dream
Love is never what it seems
When we touch
And you're holding me the way you feel
Girl, you make my dreams come true
You make my dreams come true
I just wanna be close to you
And do all the things you want me to
I just wanna be close to you (Huh)
And show you the way I feel (Huh-huh-huh)
She was a Gemini on the cusp of Mars
She holds mi back or she too far
Windin' mi up just to let her down
So emotional, gagged and bound
There's more to this than meets the eye
A devil woman locked outside
With the full moon rising, I was scared
I think I was possessed
I just wanna be close to you
And do all the things you want me to
I just wanna be close to you (Huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh)
And show you the way I feel
I feel love
Every time your body's next to mine
Something deep inside of me
Wants to love you endlessly
When we touch
Girl, you don't know how it makes me feel
I just can't believe it's real
I can't believe it's real
I just wanna be close to you
And do all the things you want me to
I just wanna be close to you
And show you the way I feel
She got an attitude, I can't explain
You never know if you're in frame
Tying me up with elastic words
I'm on the countdown till I get heard
Her blood was hot, she burned so bright
A neon sign there in the night
It's hard to say if I went too far
My heart still bears a scar
I just wanna be close to you
I just wanna be close to you (Huh-huh-huh-huh)
(I just wanna be close to you) She was A Jezebel, this Brixton queen
Livin' the life like a back street dream
Tellin' mi lies when the truth was clear
I think she knew what I wanted to hear
(I just wanna be close to you) Spinnin' mi 'round like a wheel on fire
Walkin' on tightrope, my love's high wire
Fatal attraction is where I'm at
There's no escapin' me
I wanna be close to you
And do all the things you want me to
I just wanna be close to you (I just wanna be close to you, baby)
And show you the way I feel
I wanna be close to you (Baby)
And do all the things you want me to
I just wanna be close to you
The girl has got the touch
What she got is a little something
That kind of girl
Maxi Priest just make them know
She's the kind of woman
Who lets you know
When she knows what she wants
She won't let go
Takes you to a place of your fantasy
Walks you to the door
But she holds the key
CHORUS
That girl(ooh) that kind of girl
That girl(ooh) that kind of girl
No matter who you are
Or what you do
She knows how to click
In everything you do
She can make you hot
When it's cold outside
Take you on a high
Even make you fly
CHORUS
Mmmmmmm, she's outspoken
I'm heartbroken
Just the kind of girl to keep my
love life rolling
She's outspoken
I'm heartbroken
Just the kind of girl to keep my

Girl to make you break your
silence and speak
Just a glimpse upon the
silhouette make my
knees
Get weak mmmmm
Baby, baby so unique

Lover lover make her life complete
CHORUS
She's the kind of woman
Who knows the street
And even under pressure
She's smooth and sweet
No complications
Just attitude
Believe in what she's got
And she won't get used
CHORUS
Well I'm weak to her touch
So vulnerable to her blush, love struck
That girl I got an instant crush
You can call me a lush, infatuation or just lust
The girl possess the stuff to
Make the man them oh ah
Holy moses Lord it could have been me
Caught up in this trap and din't wanna be
But I ain't no fool I was one step ahead

Don't waste your time
Heartache what me fear
Spread it everywhere
Woman, me honor you, dolly
Me know come ya fe jeer
Pat says she loves me
And me wonder if she care
The woman I'm looking for
Must be somewhere out there
See Buju ya, Maxi Priest
Beres Hammond gone clear
Type of man fe make the girl
Them chat
Armhouse and carousing
That we don't want
Raise up gal picnee
In God I believe ooh yeah
In God I believe ooh yeah
We rise to another day
So many things to say
Here comes the rain
I know it won't be long
Hope makes me carry on
My life is worth all the pain
So I'm working hard to find some kind of peace of mind
It's what I need to achieve
And even in times of doubt my faith I can't leave with out
In God the King I believe
chorus
One Day I know my Lord
Love will take over oh yeah
One day I know
We will cross over oh well
So I walk an endless road
Carrying my heavy load
I know that I'm not alone
And when the day is done
I know the time has come
To give my thanks once more
repeat chorus
Soon one day I know
We will cross over
Now there is a time and a place
We've got to run the race
Now there is a lesson to learn, teach them
So we never give up the fight
When we believe we're right
We can overcome
repeat chorus
Soon one day I know
Love will take over
Got to believe it
We will cross over I know I know
Oh one day love will take over
You say you're hurting oh 'cause
They say I'm flirting oh no
You just can't take it anymore
Your friends say I'm no good for you
But in my heart I'm so true
A partner for life we can be sure
You've asked me for some time to clear you mind
I stayed away it hurt so much
Without your touch
Now I'm back and you say
Just a little bit longer baby
'Cause my love keeps growing stronger
A little more time to say but in my head a love song plays
For you and me
We played in the rain together
That feeling lives on forever
Memories that bring tears of joy
We've had our share of bad times too
Hurting each other me and you
Brought us much closer in the end
Just too much we've both fought for
To put it all down the drain
I've stayed away just for a while
But now you're driving me insane
Just a little bit longer baby
'Cause my love keeps growing stronger
A little more time to say but in my head a love song plays
For you and me
Just a little bit longer baby
'Cause my love keeps growing stronger
A little more time to say but in my head a love song plays
For you and me
I said, all there is to say now
Hoping that you'll make me stay
Believe me I'm yearning for you girl
Hope there's a place in your heart
That remembers the good from the start
Just put me back where I belong
You asked me for some time to clear your mind
I stayed away it hurt so much
Without your touch now I'm back and you say
Just a little bit longer baby
'Cause my love keeps growing stronger
A little more time to say but in my head a love song plays
Just a little bit longer baby
'Cause my love keeps growing stronger
A little more time to say but in my head a love song plays
For you and me, for you and me
Just a little bit longer baby
'Cause my love keeps growing stronger
A little more time to say but in my head a love song plays
Just a little bit longer baby
'Cause my love keeps growing stronger
A little more time to say but in my head a love song plays
Just a little bit longer baby
A little more time to say
Cry, human cry
Cry cry ooh Lord
There's a dark place in the heart of the city
Where no one goes
People up-town won't admit it
They don't wanna know
Children on the sidewalk looking so sad
People out there they got bad intentions
And there's nothing to lose
chorus
Human cry cry cry
Human cry from the battlefield
Human oooh Lord
Human cry oh Lord
Shattered dreams of forgotten souls
Who struggle to exist
People on the hill won't come near
Afraid to take the risk
Looking for a way out that's not there
Desperate faces everywhere so hungry
Searching for shelter
repeat chorus
Fragile the place is fragile
We're on the edge of all tomorrows
And you just can feel the tension
Tearing us apart
We're gonna let go if we lose a heart
Ooh oh the place is fragile
Say it's midnight on the street
Graffiti everywhere
And in a fortress on higher ground
People live in fear
No this ain't no distant dream
It's in our own backyard
Look all around you
Just a castaway on an island lost at sea-o
Another lonely day, no one here but me-o
More loneliness than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall fall into despair-o
chorus
I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my message in a bottle
Oh yeah message in a bottle ooh
A year has passed since I wrote my note
But I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend a life but love can break your heart-o
repeat chorus
My message, my message, message in a bottle, my my my my Lord
Woke up this morning, I don't believe what I saw
A hundred million bottles washed up on the shore
Seems like I'm not alone in being alone
A hundred million castaways looking for a home
repeat chorus
Sending out an SOS message in a bottle
Sending out, sending out, sending out
Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS
Reaching to the world my Lord
My message my message
Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS
